Pros

Amazing mission, supporting Air Force Wounded Warriors with their needs, both professional and personal. Small teams of care teams who take their job seriously, but still have fun and build community.

Cons

It can be difficult when contractors and DoD civilians work in close proximity. There was some "us vs. them" mentality, but overall, it wasn't a huge problem.
